Carbon Trust and Siemens announce new low carbon finance scheme
The Carbon Trust and Siemens have announced a joint partnership to provide UK businesses with green equipment finance worth up to £550 million over the next three years.
The new dedicated low carbon finance scheme is a first and will enable UK businesses to invest in cost effective energy efficiency equipment or other low carbon technologies, such as new efficient lighting and biomass heating.
All businesses will be able to apply for new green growth finance from the scheme from 4 April 2011.
The Carbon Trust and Siemens Financial Services have also agreed to finance a new commercial venture that will increase the take up of energy efficiency projects. This venture will offer procurement support to businesses wishing to purchase energy efficiency equipment at scale from a network of accredited suppliers and will be launched later this year.
